Members markg Posted March 21, 2006 Members Share Posted March 21, 2006 I'll be coming down on Sunday. What's the water like in the Long/Cricket Creek area. Never been here in low water. Anyone catching crappie around there. We usually put in at Gage's. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 21, 2006 Root Admin Share Posted March 21, 2006 March 17, 2006 Water Level--904.1--rising slowly Water Temperature--53 degrees Water Condition--stained Crappie---This has been a very good winter for crappie fishing all over Table Rock. The size of crappie has improved greatly over the previous few years. Crappie are being caught suspended in the tree lines south of the dock. Fish a jig or a live minnow 6 to 12 feet deep in 20 to 25 feet of water. Black bass are hitting crank baits on secondary points in the creeks. Look for chunk rock points to be most productive. Hard to say what this rain and more this week will do between now and this weekend. I doubt if many will be fishing down there this week because of the cold weather. The crappie won't go far though. Stop at the marina at Cricket and talk to Mark. He should be able to tell you what's going on- up to the minute. Marc- we look forward to your report when you return home!! Hope it's a good one!

Members markg Posted March 25, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 Leaving tomoroow to come to Table Rock....hope the crappie are on. Does anyone have some ideas where I can drop my boat/trailer for the week from March 31-April 8. Leaving one resort...coming back to work..then returning at a different resort. It would help if I could store it instead of trailering it for the extra 1000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 markg... Leave me the keys and I'll be happy to store your boat in my front yard for you.. (FREE.. No charge) Plus I be sure to keep the bugs out of the engine for you..LOL P.S. I have a big garage that it can be stored in.. and I live less then 2 miles from Gages.. I can see them right across the lake from my house. http://www.taneycomonights.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
